This SATCOM antenna was designed for applications where a simple lightweight, very rugged, compact UHF antenna is needed. This product can mount directly onto the connector of a radio set. Three versions are offered to accommodate the various portable radios existing in the field. Alternatively, you may strap the UL-3001-340S to your backpack (as far away from your body, minimizing the SAR* for your safety, and any metallic surfaces as practicable). Velcro type straps, such as our ACC-00010, allow for quick deployment and stow. The various versions of the UL-3001-340S antenna differ only by their connectors: N, BNC (PRC-117 connector) and TNC (PRC-148 or MBTR connector).

This antenna provides a DC short circuit to help protect radio electronics connected to it from electrostatic discharge. At its UHF passband of 243-318 MHz, the nominal impedance is 50 ohm, with a maximum VSWR of 3.

* SAR = Specific Absoption Rate, which refers to the amount of emitted radio energy absorbed by human tissue near an antenna
